Singapore has emerged as the top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) confidence in the Asia-Pacific region, according to Bloomberg Media’s latest Global Foreign Direct Investment Outlook. The study, which surveyed 2,600 senior business decision-makers across 31 markets, reveals that 62% of regionally focused investors express greater confidence in Singapore, driven by its robust policy environment and geopolitical stability.
The report highlights that investors are primarily motivated by Singapore’s strong capabilities in technology and innovation, access to new customer markets, and a highly skilled workforce. Michelle Lynn, Bloomberg’s Global Head of Data Science & Insights, stated, “Investors perceive Singapore as highly stable and economically resilient, offering a much-needed harbour in an increasingly volatile global landscape.”
Key growth opportunities identified by investors include the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), supply chain diversification, and digital transformation. Over half of the investors view advanced technology as the most promising sector, followed by IT/computer technology and business services.
The study underscores Singapore’s alignment with global investor priorities, with Lynn noting, “Singapore stands out not just for its stability, but for how closely it aligns with what investors value most.”
As global investors increasingly prioritise AI, digital transformation, and supply chain resilience, Singapore’s position as a future-focused and trustworthy partner for long-term growth continues to strengthen.
